Google Sheets Integration

Design Badges Directly from Your Google Sheets Data

Connect a Google Sheet and watch attendee data flow into your badge designer in real time. Add a row, update a name, change a title -- every edit is reflected instantly without re-importing.

How the Google Sheets Integration Works

Your spreadsheet becomes the single source of truth for attendee data, and the badge designer stays perfectly in sync.

Live Two-Way Sync

Changes in your Google Sheet appear in the badge designer within seconds. Add a new attendee row, fix a typo, or remove a cancellation, and the badge project updates automatically.

Automatic Column Mapping

The integration reads your column headers and suggests field mappings. Name, email, company, and title are detected automatically. Custom columns map to custom badge placeholders.

Collaborative Editing

Multiple team members can edit the same Google Sheet simultaneously. Registration coordinators, sponsors, and event managers all contribute to the attendee list in real time.

Formula & Calculated Fields

Use Google Sheets formulas to create computed fields. Concatenate first and last names, generate badge titles, or flag VIPs with conditional logic -- all synced to your badge layout.

Multi-Sheet Support

Pull data from multiple tabs within the same spreadsheet. Keep speakers on one sheet, sponsors on another, and general attendees on a third, each mapped to a distinct badge design.

Version History & Rollback

Google Sheets tracks every change. If incorrect data is introduced, use version history to roll back, and the badge designer picks up the corrected data on the next sync.

Why Google Sheets Is the Perfect Badge Data Source

Familiar, flexible, and collaborative. Google Sheets gives you full control over your attendee data without learning a new tool.

1

Use a Tool You Already Know

No new software to learn. If your team manages attendee data in Google Sheets today, the badge designer plugs directly into that workflow without any disruption.

2

Real-Time Updates Without Re-Import

Traditional badge tools require exporting and re-uploading a CSV every time data changes. With live sync, updates flow through instantly. Edit the sheet and the badges update.

3

Team-Wide Access Control

Google Sheets sharing permissions let you control who can edit attendee data. Give view-only access to stakeholders and edit access to coordinators. The badge designer respects the same data.

4

Handle Any Data Structure

Spreadsheets accommodate any number of columns and any data format. Track dietary needs, T-shirt sizes, arrival dates, or any event-specific field alongside standard badge data.

5

Free for Any Team Size

Google Sheets is free to use with a Google account. Combined with Online Badge Designer, you get a professional badge workflow without paying for a separate attendee management platform.

6

Works Alongside Other Integrations

Use Google Sheets as a central data hub. Feed data into it from Google Forms, Zapier, or manual entry, and let the badge designer pull from the consolidated sheet.

Google Sheets Integration FAQs

How do I connect a Google Sheet to my badge project?
From your badge project dashboard, select the Google Sheets integration and sign in with your Google account. Browse your Drive to select the spreadsheet and the specific tab you want to use. Column headers are read automatically and mapped to badge data fields.
Does the integration work with shared Google Sheets?
Yes. As long as the Google account you connect has at least view access to the sheet, the integration can read the data. If multiple people are editing the sheet simultaneously, the badge designer picks up all changes in real time.
What happens if I reorganize columns in the spreadsheet?
The integration maps by column header name, not column position. You can reorder columns freely without breaking the connection. If you rename a column header, you will need to update the field mapping in the badge designer to match.
Can I use Google Sheets formulas in badge data?
Absolutely. The integration reads the computed value of each cell, not the formula itself. Use CONCATENATE to merge fields, IF statements for conditional text, or VLOOKUP to pull data from reference tables. The final displayed value is what appears on the badge.
Is there a row limit for the Google Sheets integration?
The integration supports up to 10,000 rows per sheet tab, which covers most events comfortably. For larger datasets, split attendees across multiple tabs and connect each tab to its own badge template within the same project.
Can I use multiple sheets or tabs for one event?
Yes. Within a single badge project, you can connect multiple tabs from the same spreadsheet or even tabs from different spreadsheets. This is useful for separating attendee categories such as speakers, sponsors, and general registrants into different badge designs.
